Oh my word. I loved this one. The main character's family decides to help a single mom in their community by letting them stay in the small detached apartment on their property. The main character does not really want them to do this because her other friends think that the daughter, Moon, is odd and a bit intimidating. She has a reputation for being loud and for supposedly beating people up. When the main character starts to get to know Moon, she quickly realizes that Moon's reputation is all wrong and they start to become friends. The story gets really emotional when something happens to Moon, something based on the author's own childhood experience, which forces the main character to do some deep reflection. This one will definitely go on my classroom shelves.

What a fantastic story about being different & being friends & being yourself!
